Hi Jeffrey,

click has to get through the custom view to the Matrix which is a subview.
That is exactly how clicks work. The first view to receive mouseDown: is
the _deepest_ view that it the click hits. Please see the Cocoa event
handling guide for more details, <
http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/Int
roduction/chapter_1_section_1.html> .
You can modify the view that first receives -mouseDown: by overriding
-[NSView hitTest:]. It's relatively rare though, and more useful when you
do not know what your subviews will be. Please consider if a plain
NSMatrix is appropriate as a subview in the first place!
